Von der Leyen Advocates for a 'Strong Europe' and Harshly Criticizes Orban
Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, has called for a 'strong Europe' in the face of fear and uncertainty. She pledged to fight with democratic forces in the European Parliament and criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Moscow visit, calling it an 'appeasement mission.' Von der Leyen also emphasized the need for a 'true European Union of defense' to counter the Russian aggression in Ukraine.
While NATO remains the pillar of European defense, she stressed the importance of investing more in EU security. Von der Leyen's re-election reflects the ability of Europe's major parties to prevent chaos.
She also expressed her intention to address the addictive design of social media platforms, announcing an action plan against cyberbullying and online child abuse. Various political groups, including the Socialists & Democrats and the Renew faction, are advocating for legislation to tackle these issues.
The European Commission has already initiated proceedings against TikTok for its addictive design. Von der Leyen's commitment to supporting the interface between science, technology, and industry, particularly in genomics, has been praised by the European Association of Research and Technology Organizations.
Additionally, she plans to fully implement the Cancer Plan, present action plans for cardiovascular diseases and mental health, and intensify work in health prevention.
